20-year-old charged in baby's death

A 20-year-old Memphis father has been charged with first-degree murder in the 2015 death of his 2-month-old son.

James Clifton Robinson is charged with first-degree murder in the perpetration of aggravated child abuse and neglect in the death of James Robinson Jr., who was fatally injured Nov. 3, 2015, according to the office of the Shelby County District Attorney General.

The baby, who was found in bed unresponsive in the 4600 block of Deep Brook Drive in Frayser, died of a skull fracture and brain injuries. Police said he suffered internal bleeding, bone fractures and had evidence of prior abuse.

His grandmother called police from the home, and he was taken to Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital. Authorities arrested Robinson after determining he was alone with the baby at the time he was injured, according to an affidavit.
